68. lappuse - A great deal better, thank you, sir," replied Oliver. Mr. Brownlow, seeming to apprehend that his singular friend was about to say something disagreeable, asked Oliver to step down stairs and tell Mrs. Bedwiu they were ready for tea; which, as he did not half like the visitor's manner, he was very happy to do. " He is a nice-looking boy, is he not?" inquired Mr. Brownlow. " I don't know,
9. lappuse - A council was held , lots were cast who should walk up to the master after supper that evening, and ask for more ; and it fell to Oliver Twist. The evening arrived ; the boys took their places. The master, in his cook's uniform, stationed himself at the copper ; his pauper assistants ranged themselves behind him; the gruel was served out; and a long grace was said over the short commons. The gruel disappeared ; the boys whispered each other, and winked at Oliver ; while his next neighbors nudged...

Wrapped in the blanket which had hitherto formed his only covering, he might have been the child of a nobleman or a beggar ; it would have been hard for the haughtiest stranger to have assigned him his proper station in society.

280. lappuse - That is no excuse," replied Mr. Brownlow. "You were present on the occasion of the destruction of these trinkets, and indeed, are the more guilty of the two, in the eye of the law for the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.'' " If the law supposes that,

I never knew how bad she was, till the fever came upon her; and then her bones were starting through the skin. There was neither fire nor candle; she died in the dark — in the dark!
